Moving Forward Update #33

Dear Friends,
 
This week we begin a series of Neighborhood Gatherings in person or via zoom.  I highly encourage you to attend one that works in your schedule. Please RSVP by email or phone to the host. This year more than ever, the importance of stewardship in the life of St. Michael's will be shared, along with an update on the restoration of our property.

The City of Sanibel has not had an update for a couple weeks, but had one tonight and here are some of the highlights.
 
- The Sanibel Farmer's Market will be returning to the parking lot of Jerry's Foods this Sunday.

- City officials have been working with our representatives to get some type of mail service restored on Sanibel. Residents were informed via email last week that mail service would not be restored until late summer 2023, but there is hope that a temporary solution could be reached much earlier.  Residents are encouraged to continue to email our Senators and House of Representatives members.

-CHR has 29 units that are habitable and 44 units that are potentially able to be occupied, but challenges still exist.

-The next public meeting will be the City Council meeting on January 17 at 9am at Big Arts and the public will be allowed to attend.

-Beach parking lots are still closed but it is hoped to have a couple beach parks open in February. Large debris on the beaches has been cleared by Crowder Gulf.

-Volunteers are needed for beach clean ups sponsored by SCCF, you can sign up here; and cleaning along San Cap Road this Saturday sponsored by Ding Darling. This is a great way to get a couple fellow parishioners, friends or family together and make a big difference.


- January 12, this Thursday, is the last day to apply for FEMA disaster assistance 800-621-3362 and/or the SBA low interest loan, 800-659-2955.
 
Hope to see you at a neighborhood gathering;
